# Sailing Instruments The instrument panel provides real-time data from your sensors and boat polars. ## Wind Data - **AWS (Apparent Wind Speed):** The wind speed felt by the boat. - **TWS (True Wind Speed):** The actual wind speed across the water. - **TWD (True Wind Direction):** The compass direction the wind is blowing from. ## Boat Performance - **BSP (Boat Speed):** Speed through the water (from your speedo). - **SOG (Speed Over Ground):** Actual speed relative to the earth (from GPS). - **VMG (Velocity Made Good):** Speed directly upwind or downwind. - **Polar %:** Your current speed relative to the theoretical maximum for your boat. ## Navigation - **HDG (Heading):** The direction the bow is pointing. - **COG (Course Over Ground):** The actual path the boat is tracking (includes leeway and current). - **Depth:** Current depth below the keel.
